Some issues found in tech at Sebring Super Tour and some reminders:

1) shocks were tested from 5 front running cars. 1 competitor was found to have non-compliant shocks with modified damping based on shock dyno testing, and was subsequently DQ'd. The other 4 cars were compliant.

REMINDER: shocks must be stock and no valving/internal changes are allowed. SCCA has a very reliable way to police this.

2) 2 non-front running competitors were found to be running NB's without restrictor plates and were DQ'd.

REMINDER: running a different class such as STL is not an excuse for not having the proper restrictor plate.

3) 2 competitors were found to have the wrong bump stop kits and were DQ'd.

REMINDER: You must have the approved Fatcat kit from Mazda in its entirety to be legal. No other kits are approved. Check your car if you don't know for certain, as a lot of the wrong kits were used in past builds by just about every builder.
